Interesting analogy. The nice thing about ATC (when VFR) is that the phraseology is well defined and outside of emergencies the number of requests and instructions are limited and usually expected. When flying IFR then you've planned ahead, filed that plan, and either received exactly what you want or gotten an updated plan. If things change along the way you get small digestible updates. And you are of course going to brief your approach before executing it. Meetings are much more dynamic.
